Quick Relief From Wisdom Teeth Pain in Virginia Beach

Wisdom teeth are the third molars that begin to appear as your older child's other permanent teeth are coming in as well.

When these teeth are in their proper place, all is well. But when they're not, it's time to contact Virginia Beach wisdom teeth dentist Dr. Arthur Jenkins to ask about wisdom tooth removal.

At General and Implant Dentistry we often recommend wisdom tooth extraction - not only to alleviate the discomfort of impacted wisdom teeth, but to ensure that all the rest of the teeth come in straight. Regular monitoring of the wisdom teeth can keep your child from requiring further correction to their teeth later in life.
